The Wizard's Promise by Cliff Mcnish
Children the world over are flexing their powers, but it is only Rachel and Eric who finally have the skill to confront the Griddas, the terrible creatures unleashed by the High Witch. Cliff McNish writes with verve and sparkling imagination in this breathtaking novel.
"This is breathtaking, swashbuckling stuff as the story relentlessly unfolds until it finally reaches its spectacular conclusion..There is much to recommend about this book, and indeed the series: the characters are believeable; it is beautifully written, with page after page of powerful imagery; it is utterly compulsive and inventive reading for young teens." Birmingham Post, 14 Sep 02 "Cliff McNish writes with energy and sparkling imagination in this most compelling conclusion to an extraordinary trilogy." Nought to Twelve "a fast-paced, gripping narrative" TES, 14 Feb 03 "complex, exciting and fast moving...a good read" School Librarian, Spring 03
Cliff McNish was born in Sunderland, but has spent most of his life in the southeast of England. His daughter Rachel loved to hear stories from an early age. The Doomspell started as one of these. 'But before I knew what was happening,' says Cliff, 'the whole magical world of Ithrea just wanted to come to life in a bigger way. It wanted to live!' Geoff Taylor was born in Lancaster, England in 1946. He studied Graphic Design at Chesterfield College of Art. After five years or so of working in advertising agencies in Nottingham, Geoff turned to illustrating book covers for most of the top fantasy writers of our time, both adult and children's fiction. Geoff was one of the illustrators for the legendary Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of "The War of the Worlds" album. Since 1994 he has added to some of the rich imagery of "Games Workshop" and the Black Library. Perhaps his true passions are best reflected in his wildlife paintings, especially wolves. He now lives in Cumbria with his wife. Find out more from his website www.geofftaylor.btinternet.co.uk.
